There's a good possibility a trade was involved in the deal. It could have included her personal previous car (which may have been leased personally by her)and the remaining payments were rolled into the new lease which the guberment is now paying for - or she traded in her personal car which was financed and on which she was upsidedown (meaning she owed more on it than it was appraised for). Add several thousand dollars to the original lease and $1300 is quite possible. Rolling over that much into a new lease is not generally allowed by most leasing arms. I'm sure it was rubber stamped because the government is paying - but who in the government allowed this? This woman is pure, unadulterated slime.

Interesting possibility. However, let's consider how much of a rollover was required to get to $1,300 monthly. It wouldn't be several thousand dollars. It would have required a residual rollover of roughly $25,000 to bring the payment up to $1,300.

If that's the case, then someone ought to be looking at whether she was having the taxpayers pay for her personal vehicle.

more possibly, the car is not a standard Lincoln. I know the ones that the limo companies piock us up in are loaded to the gills and cost far more than the standard cars. However, even if that was true, there is no excuse for such a price on the taxpayer's bills.
